How Heidi’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy begins by focusing on the person’s experience and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients name their priorities and values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to feelings and how they show up in close relationships, making it useful for intimacy and communication problems.Heidi will collaborate with each client to decide which approach or combination makes the most sense. That choice is not fixed - she checks in about goals, preferences, and what is working. Together they shape a plan that balances insight with practical steps to try between sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide flexible, brief touchpoints for follow-ups or when someone prefers typed communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
